I was actually waiting for people thoughs before putting it on the CVS. Does
no-reply means that it's already perfect so I can add it ? :-)

I had a look at it but it's a different approach than my proposal. You're
actually restricting the IO's to char/string IO while I'm proposing to have
generics IO that can write/read anything ( chars and strings, but also
tokens, lists, ... ). But the nice thing is to actually add the
read/write_u16 , read/write_byte etc.... as you did in order to manipulate
binary files easier.
